Radon is an invisible, odorless, radioactive gas that occurs naturally in our environment.
It originates from the natural breakdown of uranium in soils and rocks.
As radon is released from the ground into enclosed spaces, such as homes, it can accumulate to dangerously high levels.
Radon particles are inhaled into the lungs and become trapped. The radon particles then breakdown, releasing radioactive particles that damage DNA in lung tissue. When the lung tissue is damaged and unable to repair the DNA correctly, it can lead to lung cancer.
Radon is the leading environmental cause of any cancer. It is the second leading cause of lung cancer, after smoking. People who smoke and are exposed to radon have a 10 times greater risk of developing lung cancer from radon exposure compared with people who do not smoke and are exposed to the same radon levels.
Radon is especially harmful to infants and children as they breathe 2-3 times faster than adults, and their lungs are just starting to develop.
